At diagnosis I was given Abasaglar which made me feel terrible so I stopped it after a week, continued with fast acting only which was no problem. Over a year later, I have recently started to try Tresiba, starting with 2 units which was fine and had a good effect. By 2 weeks the effect was wearing off and almost back to how it was before, then I increased to 3 units and had a constant slight headache, sore eyes and just feeling rough for a few days.
This slowly passed and after a few days I tried one unit more to 4 and getting this reaction again. Anyone else had this? Maybe it's a sensitivity to the preservatives or something in basal specifically as I am fine with fast acting. I read that they are discontinuing Levemir now, so Abasaglar and Tresiba represent the only 2 types available. I can't imagine what would happen if I needed 20 units, if 3 or 4 already have this effect!
